BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Ripe, crushed apples, fuller than most, with a hint of honey, just a touch of windfall about it; similar on the palate, fresh, zesty-appley finish. 15

Charles Metcalfe: Gently lemony, floral aromas. Good, lively acidity; fresh, citrus-dominated flavors. Hints of honey and flowers. Appealing, gentle, relatively straightforward wine. 12.5

Joanna Simon: Effortless pear, green-apple, and woodsmoke on the nose. Intense, smoky, mineral, green-apple palate, with briny intensity and acidity and a lively hint of spritz. Concentrated, persistent. Harmonious. 17
